266656 - account identity copies to wrong sent items folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262300

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Simon Tuckwell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

Under my IMAP account, I have changed my sent items folder from the default to
[e-mail]->"Sent Items".  I have set up several identities, such as
[e-mail].  If I send mail using an identity the e-mail is copied into
[e-mail]->"Sent" instead of my selected folder.  The correct folder is used
if I don't change the identity.

Once the "Sent" folder is created it cannot be deleted within Thunderbird.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change Sent Items folder in account settings.
2.Add an identity.
3.Send mail using identity.

Actual Results:  
Copy of sent item found in "Sent" folder.

Expected Results:  
Copied message to "Sent Items" folder.

Using Thunderbird 0.8+/0.9 20041027.

Copying to the Sent folder is controlled by the identity-specific fcc and 
fcc_folder preferences:
  mail.identity.idXXX.fcc
  mail.identity.idXXX.fcc_folder

If you make a change to the default identity, these settings are not propogated 
to the other identities -- which is sensible if you've set up to use specific 
folders for specific identities, but otherwise is a pain.  You can edit the 
settings manually in prefs.js.  The duplicate bug requests a UI for all the 
identity-specific preferences.
